This is one of the more peculiar quasi-soundtracks from the 1950s. It is largely an homage to Kim Novak in the title role of Jeanne Eagels, a 1957 fictionalized biopic of an actress who died young. The record includes a song called This Is Kim by George Duning and theme music by the same composer, along with a selections of standards that are presumably associated with the Eagels/Novak character in the film. All this is presented by Morris Stoloff, his Columbia band, and a cooing chorus. Novak's vocals in the film were dubbed by Gogi Grant, or so I have read, but they are not here - or issued anywhere else that I have found. One final note: this is another late mono record that (despite the jacket claim) was not processed properly for RIAA playback. I have corrected that in this transfer.
